摘要

Expressions are derived for diffraction by the triangular Ising antiferromagnet, a disordered lattice system consisting of two kinds of scatterer and exhibiting geometric frustration. Analysis of the expressions shows characteristics of the diffraction patterns, including the presence of Bragg and diffuse diffraction, superlattice reflections, and their behavior with temperature. These characteristics are illustrated by numerical simulations. The results have application to diffraction imaging of disordered systems.
